What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to help people with facial palsy regain better facial movement and symmetry.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects like skin tingling, headache, or fatigue are possible.
